What To Expect
Meet your guide at Gyeongbokgung station and walk to nearby Gyeongbokgung Palace to watch the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony. The original performance at Gwanghwamun Gate is reenacted by guards in traditional costumes from the Joseon Dynasty. Then head inside the 'Northern Palace,' arguably the most beautiful and largest of the Five Grand Palaces in Seoul (closed on Tuesdays). After a look at the pavilions built upon ponds, stroll to nearby Tongin Market. Built during Japanese colonization in 1941, the local market features grocery stores and food stands. Here, visitors can exchange money into ancient yeopjeon (brass coins), the currency used during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties. Fill your tray with a variety of freshly prepared foods found throughout the market. Lunch and drinks are included in your 3-hour tour.
